Be Well,

Joel Grey, Comes Out As Gay at 82...Screen and stage actor Joel Grey publicly came out as gay on Wednesday.
The 82-year-old star, who earned an Oscar for playing the Master of Ceremonies in the 1972 film Cabaret, says in the new issue of People magazine that he "doesn't like labels, but if you have to put a label on it, I'm a gay man."
While Grey hasn't been keeping his homosexuality a secret from friends and family, he's never addressed it publicly.
"All the people close to me have known for years who I am," said the actor. "[Yet] it took time to embrace that other part of who I always was."
Grey says he realized he was attracted to both girls and boys while growing up in Ohio as the son of actor Mickey Katz and called his 24-year marriage to actress Jo Wilder "the happiest [period] of his life."
Grey had two children with Wilder: Jennifer (of 'Dirty Dancing' fame) and James Grey.
"I feel very happy for my dad that he has come to a point in his life where he feels safe and comfortable enough to declare himself in a public way as a gay man," Jennifer told the magazine.
Taran Killam, Cobie Smulders Welcome Second Child...Saturday Night Live star Taran Killam and his wife, How I Met Your Mother's Cobie Smulders, welcomed their second child three weeks ago.
The couple confirmed last October that they were expecting a baby, but they had yet to announce the birth until Smulders, 32, mentioned she had a newborn during an interview at the Sundance Film Festival.
"I'm in Sundance and I have a three week old baby, so I can certainly relate," Smulders told Bustle on Sunday.
"It's my world at the moment, and it's just so prevalent in the world today. I'm very lucky where I have a great career and a huge support system and not every woman has that. It's an interesting film because it shows both of those sides," she added.
Smulders is currently promoting Unexpected, a film about a teacher and student expecting a child at the same time.
Killam and Smulders have another daughter together, 5-year-old Shaelyn Cado.

??? Guess Who ???This actress, who is married to the co-creator, admits she didn't think Game of Thrones would make a good television series???
Can She Really Do This?....Taylor Swift has trademarked the lyrics "This sick beat" from her song "Shake It Off."
In addition to "This sick beat," the star also claimed "Party like it's 1989," "Cause we never go out of style," "Could show you incredible things," and "Nice to meet you. Where you been?"
The lyrics will be used on products ranging from soap and linens to t-shirts and hair ties.
It seems extreme and possibly a shade ridiculous, but trademarks are a common practice for artists who want to guarantee profit from anything is sold with their likeness or work.
Now anyone who sells anything with these phrases without approval from Swift and without paying royalties, will be selling the product illegally.
Swift recently had all of her music removed from the popular legal streaming service Spotify, saying it decreases revenue from album sales drastically.
Tim McGraw will perform for Glen Campbell at the Oscars...Tim McGraw will perform the Oscar-nominated song "I'm Not Gonna Miss You" for Glen Campbell at the 87th Academy Awards.
The song is from the documentary Glen Campbell...I'll Be Me, which chronicles the 78-year-old actor and singer's battle with Alzheimer's disease and farewell concert tour.
"We couldn't think of anyone better than Tim McGraw to properly celebrate Oscar nominee Glen Campbell. Tim is the consummate country artist and will bring a bit of Nashville to the Oscars stage," show producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said in a joint statement Thursday.
"I'm honored to be asked to sing this powerful song from one of the true legends of the music industry," added McGraw.
??? Guess Who ???The actress married to the co-creator of Game Of Thrones who told him she didn't think it would make a good television series???
It's Amanda Peet... She admitted as much in an interview with Conan on Monday. Peet is married to Game of Thrones co-creator David Benioff, and told host Conan O'Brien she initially thought the show was a bad idea.
"Yes, I thought it was a terrible idea. Terrible! Just silly. Like Dungeons & Dragons, but real, with real people," she confessed to boos from the audience. "Now I'm obsessed!"
Game of Thrones is based on the A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy book series by George R.R. Martin, and premiered on HBO in 2011. The adaptation proved a success with critics and fans, and will return for a fifth season April 12.
